Lavington Executive Lounge
Bespoke interior commission
01 / Curatorial narrative
Craft, performance and a disciplined interior.
For a private executive lounge, the client wanted a room that signals establishment the moment a guest steps in. The ceiling does the talking: layered gypsum trays with stepped recesses, each engineered around the LED profile it carries, finished at the walls with a deep acanthus-scroll cornice.
Mahogany door surrounds and louvred transom panels bring the warmth of natural timber against the gallery-white walls, and conceal ventilation without a single visible grille.
CCTV, lighting and AV cabling are all routed behind the panelling zone, keeping the ceiling plane pristine. Every tray step was straightened by hand under a raking work light before decoration — the same discipline you can read about in our ceiling-crew field notes.
